I LOVE this movie, love this song. Louis Prima is without equal. 

The other night this song was quoted in a poem read at The Spoken Word, and it struck me differently than it it ever has before. ....... The common belief is that technology is what separates us from the animals. The ability to control, modify the world around us, to suit our needs and pleasures. 

"What I desire is man's red fire, so I can be like you."

I think this is so very wrong. I think it badly cheapens who we are. 

Think about it. Are we just smarter than average apes?

God help us.

In the meantime..... Oh, MAN, what a beat! 😎
